  1. But in all honesty the signing itself was pretty desperate. A loan on deadline day is never going to be that likely to be a hit. We've just mismanaged ourselves so badly that such a key position and weakness was given such half hearted treatment.
  2. Our players aren't good but our attacking output is truly awful, relative to the possession we have I don't think you'll find a side so uncreative no matter how hard you look. Mavididi and Fatawu's attacking numbers have plateaued.
  3. Can chalk them off the list. As crap as it is they're at least on the right track now. Leicester, Southampton and Blackburn the worst clubs to support in this league currently.
  4. Think it's pretty obvious he'll flop. You can normally tell fairly early - the way you would have to say James & Ramsey look like being hits.
  5. Getting genuinely a bit worried Cov might beat 106. They're so far clear of everyone else it's unreal.
  6. All of this would be completely fair enough if he wasn't so willing to be front and centre when things hold some sort of illusion of looking good (ie winning a league their own incompetence put us into against huge odds). He very much wants to take the glory. Absolute egotist.
  7. Been a very long time I have to say. Just become a doom-merchant and you'll win 95% of the time nowadays.
  8. I don't think we'd be doing any worse and he was terrible. He at least showed some sort of signs of freezing out the piss takers - meanwhile Cifuentes has appeased them.
  9. Yep - I'd caveat my wanting Cifuentes out here by saying if you offered me a locked in Cifuentes deal until 2030 but it gets rid of Aiyawatt/Rudkin I'd take it. They're pure poison.
  10. Yeah bit he plays Monga. Box ticked. Nothing to see here. This sort of argument is getting increasingly annoying.
  11. They have better players in a fair few positions and actually have consequence at their club for being rubbish - I would assume. ****ing Millwall are better than us. What the ****.
  12. Should be an instant dismissal if true - not strong enough.
  13. Kristiansen is less shit than Thomas.
  14. I think he's quite possibly the worst starting full back in the division. Was watching Wimbledon v Burton earlier - real low quality, while news filtered through of Thomas' shitshow it dawned on me that he wouldn't even stand out at that level. Four ****ing years. It's absolutely scandalous.
  15. The entire debate around Cifuentes just sums up how utterly hopeless the club is nowadays. I'm quite decisive about these managers and getting increasingly impatient. I've been unconvinced pretty much since the opening day when we bundled past a team I'd have expected just about anybody in the EFL to have beaten on the day with the squad they had available and the fact they hadn't even played a single friendly - it felt harder to not win and we scraped it. That entire thing was a red flag. We ended up having an OK August despite the disgrace at Preston with 3 wins out of 4, without playing particularly well. Comparisons to Maresca's start I thought were kind the performances looked well off it to me even despite these results. So for me he started unconvincingly and has pretty rapidly declined to just looking pure NPC, absolutely nothing about the bloke. We have no style of play, no obvious first XI, we have despite our bleak financial situation STILL refused to make any potential short-term pain, long-term gain moves that clubs like Sunderland (poignant example) did a few years ago. I'm not one of those who would just play the U21 side in every game but I think we had a quite unique situation where it was pretty imperative to put some emphasis towards doing this and we still didn't have the balls to actually do it. That falls at his feet. As somebody who doesn't really believe in the 'stability' sort of buzz word, stability for the sake of stability, for me I'm happy to dispense with him already. I'd caveat this by saying if another manager was to come in and repeat this, they'd have probably under 10 games for me as well. There is literally nothing, NOTHING good about what he's done here. He's been Van Nistelrooy bad. But then you remember the reason he is here in the first place. We were the 3rd club in the division to confirm our status as a Championship side for the 2025/26 season behind Birmingham and Southampton. Yet were the 23rd club in the division to have a manager in place, ahead of Sheffield Wednesday who are clearly a joke anyway. They wasted months for absolutely no good reason. We inadvertently had an advantage with knowing where we would be, a chance to get ahead of the pack, yet just dozed off and let far inferior resourced clubs gazump us anyway. This is some of the most inept procedure you will ever see in sport. I think in pure footballing terms Aiyawatt & Rudkin are arguably even worse than Chansiri because as egregious as the latter is, and as disgusting as he is, he didn't have the benefit of inheriting a club that were on the cusp of European football. The sheer level of incompetence needed to even be in this division from that position is staggering. Then you remember that these are the same people who would be selecting the replacement. It's just beyond hopeless. The probability of them landing on the right man is probably about as close to Tottenham winning the Premier League this season. It would take a pure freak, pure luck. Cifuentes should go but the chance we get the right replacement are basically nil as well. Cifuentes, like Van Nistelrooy before him, only regains any credibility for me if he starts publicly making life hard for the board. But I would imagine he was selected precisely because they were confident he wouldn't do that. We're in terminal decline. Make no mistake - unless we by some miracle are sold in the next couple of years, Aiyawatt is taking us to historical lows. He's the most inept owner in the EFL today.

    He cost us more than Sunderland paid for Nordi Mukiele and Omar Alderete. Shouldn't be forgotten. Has a shorter rap sheet than a lot of our other players but far from convinced he's any good either.
  17. Has to be aimed at Aiyawatt / KP now. Going for Rudkin is cowardice at this point. Prepare to be unpopular with people but just remember you win in the end and you'll get more long term respect for it. Anyone who isn't KP out (or has a conflict of interest like certain clown emoji lovers on Twitter) will eventually become it - it's totally inevitable. When we're losing to AFC Wimbledon and Gillingham in league games, maybe it will sink it. People won't like it but it will subconsciously get in their heads. Go for the throat and let me know if there's anything I can do to help with a moderate Twitter backing. These absolute rats are killing this club.
  18. He pandered to these shit twats rather than letting them rot. He's also culpable. Get out fraud.
  19. Been saying it weeks and got called negative. We're one of the worst sides in even this league.
  20. He's got to go. Totally unacceptable.
  21. If we get a heavy deduction we might actually be a relegation candidate.
  22. Four years loool
  23. You can if you like, but I won't be there!
